NHL – DFS Expert Consensus – April 16th
NHL DFS Picks – April 16th
We ended up with just three games on the Friday night NHL slate after the postponement of the Kings/Avalanche matchup. So, let’s do a Freebie Friday with tonight’s NHL DFS Consensus Rankings.
The Weighted Consensus for the NHL uses each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score for players is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. This method gives the higher-rated experts picks more weight when compiling the overall player rankings for the day. We will include all players that have a Rank Score over 6.0.
